Is (the first) jhana (the beginning of) stream entry?
May you all find peace in your lives.

Hi BG,
Nice to have you on board. IMHO first jhana could be the start of a process which may eventually lead to stream entry but I don't believe that it is the start of entry itself.
I'll have to have a rummage around for some stuff I've read on that point (no time at the moment).

From what I recall, stream entry isn't necessarily linked to the attainment of a particular Jhana.
